Bell: A Company in Transformation
More than ever, companies must transform to meet the rapidly evolving needs of their customers. The world is changing - and so is Bell.

Bell is one of the first companies in its sector to undertake this type of transformation.

Broadband infrastructure is critical to Canada’s future economy and prosperity – these networks are essential to bridging the digital divide and ensuring that Canadians, no matter where they live and work, have equal opportunities to succeed.

Canada finds itself on the cusp of something big. A combination of market forces, societal trends, and technological developments is creating new economic opportunities in smaller and rural communities. Most recently, the COVID‑19 pandemic, as devastating as it was, has also introduced opportunities that we must seize upon.

The possibility to bring investment, jobs, and hope to every corner of the country cannot be overstated. It represents a historic opportunity to diminish the importance of one’s postal code in determining their economic future. Download the full version below.
